Jim McEwan’s
Twenty whiskies chosen by Jim McEwan, distilled between 1962 and 1980 and bottled at 27 to 42 years old: 710 years of maturation in a single series, three of them from distilleries that have since closed.
Jim McEwan was born and raised on Islay and started work at Bowmore Distillery at fifteen, as an apprentice cooper. He rose to production director there, and in 2000 joined Bruichladdich as master distiller, where he led the distillery’s revival. His work has earned him a place in several whisky halls of fame.
Celtic Heartlands is the culmination of that career. McEwan selected every cask himself, from Islay peat to delicate Speyside and soft Lowland grain, and each bottle carries a different Celtic knot on its decanter and its black presentation box. Several of the whiskies come from distilleries that no longer exist, which makes this a rare record of a lost era of Scotch.
